As a junior last season, Freeman was the Hawkeyes' leading scorer and was a
Third-Team All-Big Ten pick by league coaches. Although Freeman missed the first
10 games of the campaign due to a stress fracture, he returned to play in 22
games and averaged 13.8 points per game, while making 38.3 percent of his
3-point shots. He averaged 35 minutes per contest for the 13-19 Hawkeyes, who
finished eighth in the Big Ten.

"Tony brings maturity and toughness, which have been so consistent in our
guard play in the past," Lowery said. "We've got to get our practices back to
where they are really competitive, and he'll help us do that."

NCAA transfer rules require the 6-foot-1 native of Maywood, Ill. to sit out
the 2008-09 season. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
